Hanes bywgraffyddol
Canon Richard Trevor Owen (d. 1916) lived at Bodelwyddan, Flintshire. He was the vicar of Llangedwyn, 1869-1901 and vicar of Bodelwyddan, 1901-1916; a keen antiquarian, he was secretary of the Cambrian Archaeological Association, 1879-1914, and editor of Archaeologia Cambrensis, 1879-1880s. Bodelwyddan was previously the residence of John Williams, grandson of Sir William Williams (`Speaker Williams', 1634-1700).
Hanes archifol
The papers described in this schedule were purchased by the National Library of Wales from a Chester bookseller in 1914 who had, in turn, bought them from Canon Trevor Owen of Bodelwyddan, Flintshire. The presence of the papers of Sir William Williams and his grandson John Williams can be explained by the fact that John Williams'father received on his marriage the Bodelwyddan estate, and Bodelwyddan in time became the residence both of John Williams and Canon Trevor Owen. No obvious explanation can be offered for the presence of the papers of John Roberts or of the deeds relating to premises in the parish of Neston in Cheshire.
